I can't seem to make the GPK in the script below follow the MTVR. It looks alright to to me, but I don't script, so someone else might be able to spot why it doesn't want to follow the MTVR/Convoytruck. It'll spawn both the GPK and the MTVR, but only the MTVR will start to move the idea is to have the GPK escort the convoy and engage anyone that tries to attack it.

The second problem I'm having is that the GPK doesn't seem to detect my presence and open fire on me in fact I haven't even seen the AI rotate the GPKs gun which worries me. I'm pretty stuck here! Does anyone have any idea what the problems could be?

Make vehicle A the leader

Group vehicle A and vehicle B

Give waypoints to vehicle A

Vehicle B will follow

In the waypoints set the formation to column

I'm not using the map to tell it where to drive to because it is a life mission, so no waypoints. I tried grouping them before and it still wasn't working, but I might have done it incorrectly I will try it again. Thanks for the help.
